Famous quotes containing the words edwin and/or montagu:

    A good soul like a good body should be as unobtrusive as possible; in so far as it functions properly, it should not be noticed for good or for ill.
    —C.E.M. (Cyril Edwin Mitchinson)

    We are educated in the grossest ignorance, and no art omitted to stifle our natural reason; if some few get above their nurses’ instructions, our knowledge must rest concealed and be as useless to the world as gold in the mine.
    Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu (1689–1762)
